Help? Advice?

So my/my families mental health issues has been passed onto my child. 😢 Any advice on what to do or steps to take after you, your child’s doctor and pharmacy have all been fighting insurance for a mental health prescription for a 5 year old and insurance won’t budge because of age alone?? She was in a child psychiatric urgent care almost 2 weeks ago now and I’ve been fighting for her meds since. If she was a couple years older they would approve it no problem… I’m at a loss and I can’t afford it every month out of pocket. I called insurance this morning upset and told them how is this not discrimination mental health can be caught early now why won’t you help? Idk what else to do.

I'm in the UK so not sure how helpful this will be. Have you managed to get Dr's notes and letter from her current (psychiatric unit) care team? If they are signed and have the official logos they tend to hold more weight rather than just you said they said type thing. I hope things get better for you and your family

I second that

@Ebony I have. We have submitted them twice now it’s such a losing battle it feels like.
